Killing bacteria present on surfaces in films or in droplets using microwave UV lamps (2007)
Journal Article
Barkhudarov, E. M., Christofi, N., Kossyi, I. A., Misakyan, M. A., Sharp, J., & Taktakhisvili, I. M. (2008). Killing bacteria present on surfaces in films or in droplets using microwave UV lamps. World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 24(6), 761-769. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11274-007-9536-y

The killing of bacteria on surfaces by two types
of UV sources generated by microwave radiation is
described. In both cases, UV radiation is produced by gasdischarge
electrodeless lamps (Ar/Hg) excited by microwaves
generated by a power supply fr... Read More about Killing bacteria present on surfaces in films or in droplets using microwave UV lamps.

Christofi, N., Aspichueta, E., Dalzell, D., De la Sota, A., Etxebarria, J., Fernandes, T., Gutierrez, M., Morton, J., Obst, U., & Schmellenkamp, P. (2003). Congruence in the performance of model nitrifying activated sludge plants located in Germany, Scotland and Spain. Water Research, 37(1), 177-187. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0043-1354%2802%2900119-7

A laboratory model nitrifying activated sludge plant treating OECD synthetic sewage was designed and constructed by each of three laboratories in Germany, Scotland and Spain in order to produce a sludge inoculum for 5 rapid toxicity bioassays. The pl... Read More about Congruence in the performance of model nitrifying activated sludge plants located in Germany, Scotland and Spain.

Journal Article
Stainsby, F. M., Soddell, J. A., Seviour, R. J., Upton, J., & Goodfellow, M. (2002). Dispelling the "Nocardia amarae" myth: a phylogenetic and phenotypic study of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes isolated from activated sludge foam. Water Science and Technology, 46, 81-90

Right-angle branched filaments and rods micromanipulated from activated sludge foam and mixed liquor were identified as putatively novel members of the genera Gordonia, Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus using a combination of chemical, molecular and morp...

An investigation of techniques to identify the causes of foaming in activated sludge waste water. (2001)
Thesis
Elliott, J. N. An investigation of techniques to identify the causes of foaming in activated sludge waste water. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4874

Wastewater activated sludge treatment plants are among the most common
forms of biotechnological application. These plants breakdown influents of
organic and non-organic matter using a complex bacterial consortia in an
aerobic aqueous suspension.... Read More about An investigation of techniques to identify the causes of foaming in activated sludge waste water..
